A certain 97.1 talk show host, Breitbart.com editor, and CNN contributor has decided to use her national media platform to wage a bullying campaign against me by pestering the university I attend. Despite the fact that I'm not even talking about her and haven't for a long time, she used her radio program and Twitter feed to encourage people to harass my school without knowing what they're talking about, and the results were entirely predictable given her past history of generating death threats against college professors based on dishonestly edited audio clips.

First, Quincy, IL's Parker Lee "Chip" Gerdes, a collaborator of hers who previously threatened to slash my tires, picked up on her "ponytail" and "TA" language about me to push some homophobic jokes:

Then co-founder of the Gateway "Grassroots" Initiative Jen Ennenbach said that I was "heterophobic."

And Brooks Bayne, a creepy dude obsessed with the pernicious influence of "Jewish socialism", who is documented promising to work with the 97.1 host to harass my school, also made some bizarre sexual jokes:

Yup, just another day of smearing private citizens for this CNN contributer. Only this time, she's picking on someone who knows her game.

I stand with you. The REAL censors are the corporate hacks that run Clear Channel, Emmis communications, and of course, NewsCorp. I don't even think Loesch believes the crap she broadcasts. It's all for the paychecks. She's nothing but a tool, and she knows it.

Brooks Bayne regularly implores his 100K followers to call the businesses and clients that his targets work for. The goal is obviously to get the targets fired or to lose business. And for what? Because they disagreed with him on Twitter. This is beyond the pale. It is destructive. And, it is a form of suppression of dissent.

In case it wasn't obvious, Brooks Bayne* is a very bad person.

* Brooks Anthony Martin changed his name to Brooks Bayne when he left TN. Prior to that he had filed for bankruptcy multiple times and had been evicted from his home, court records show. He came to LA by way of Las Vegas, with a new identity and a fabricated story of how he was a successful entrepreneur.
